A Modern Twist on a Classic Tale

Based on the book by Arthur Laurents, West Side Story takes the iconic story of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare and transposes it into the Upper West Side of New York City in the 1950s. Based in an urban setting, West Side Story explores a long standing rivalry between two teenage gangs looking to run the neighborhood. Coming from different ethnical backgrounds, the Sharks and the Jets are at a constant battle with each other. That is, until a former member of the Jets falls in love with Maria, the younger sister of the Sharks leader. A forbidden love story unfolds as the two gangs explore breaking social norms to get along with each other. It is not until a tragedy strikes that the two are able to put aside their differences and come together as one.
